Tourism favourite:the Thalazur Cabourg thalassotherapy &spa hotel

Where exactly is it?

Facing the English Channel, less than two hours from Paris and a stone's throw from the famous Promenade Marcel Proust.

Why do we love?

Or rather for “who” we love?! Big crush for all the staff of the hotel Les Bains de Cabourg **** and the adjoining Thalazur thalassotherapy, from the motivated and motivating therapists of the thalasso to the restaurant room staff, including the director of the site, the chef of the restaurant, the dietician… It's hard not to succeed in letting go when you feel so pampered, accompanied, always with the right distance, the right energy and a sense of humour. We also like the mineral decoration of the site, the modern, functional and warm design of the rooms, all of which have a balcony or a terrace, and the view which carries far, to the sea, through the marram grass swaying in the with the wind.

What do we do there?

Classic thalassotherapy treatments, but not only. First, because the "Mineral ThalassoTherapies" offered by Thalazur add potassium, calcium or magnesium to treatments (massages, seaweed wraps, baths or scrubs) for better absorption of these mineral salts by the body. Then because we test new equipment there, such as the aquajump, trampoline in the swimming pool, the IPulse 5.1 in the spa, and especially whole body cryotherapy, a technologist born in Japan in the 70s and reserved until then for the sports field . If the idea of ​​spending between 2 and 3 minutes in a bathing suit in a box at – 180° is enough to cool the most hardened, we listen carefully to the wise advice of the osteopath, we concentrate and we start. No, we're not going to end up in ice cubes! It's all really about the mind because frankly, you come out with barely rosy and visibly firmer skin. For the anti-inflammatory effects, it will be necessary to renew the experience.

Where do we eat?

On the spot ! Don't miss the healthy and ultra-creative cuisine of chef Cédric Launay at Le Poisson d'Argent restaurant. Combining dietetics and gastronomy, spices from elsewhere and local terroir, such is his perfectly successful challenge. Cabourg is the only establishment of the Thalazur group to have set up the free Capital Santé option, based on a reduction in gluten, lactose, animal proteins and a wealth of antioxidants and phyto-draining plants, and this deserves the shift. Chia seeds, we already knew, but not cooked in semi-cooked salmon maki! And the rice flour madeleines are enough to bluff the most reluctant to gluten-free baking. Coming soon:a new brasserie menu for lunch including classic or revisited homemade burgers (burger bread with squid ink, lobster, etc.), and even more gourmet cuisine in the evening that will give pride of place to local products (salted meadow lamb, hay smoking…), with amazing land and sea combinations such as pressed foie gras with langoustines, new spices and aromatic oils… Silverfish will also soon gain in space. Additional square meters more than welcome as the attendance is large and deserved.

We reserve!

Weekends &short stays of 1 to 5 days, 6-day cures (Slimming resolution, Anti-ageing, Young mother, etc.), reservation by phone on 0 805 694 805, thalazur.fr/hotel-cabourg.
